This paper surveys single-project, single-objective, deterministic project scheduling
problems in which activities can be processed using a finite or infinite (and uncountable) …

Grid applications require allocating a large number of heterogeneous tasks to distributed
resources. A good allocation is critical for efficient execution. However, many existing grid …

Workflow scheduling on the Grid becomes more challenging when multiple scheduling
criteria are considered. Existing studies provide different approaches to the multi-criteria …

In this paper, a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem with schedule-
dependent setup times is considered. A schedule-dependent setup time is defined as a …

Data mining algorithms are widely used today for the analysis of large corporate and
scientific datasets stored in databases and data archives. Industry, science, and commerce …

The reduction of energy consumption in large-scale datacenters is being accomplished
through an extensive use of virtualization, which enables the consolidation of multiple …

This article proposes an extension of the Resource Constrained Project Scheduling
Problem: the multi-site RCPSP with resource pooling between several sites. This extension …

Grid computing infrastructures embody a cost-effective computing paradigm that virtualises
heterogeneous system resources to meet the dynamic needs of critical business and …

In this chapter project scheduling problems with setup times are considered. Some practical
applications justifying considering setups separately from activities are described. An …

E‐science is about global collaboration in key areas of science such as cognitive science
and brain science, and the next generation of infrastructure such as the Wisdom Web and …
